Published on February 6th, 2020 2:56 pm EST

The slow drip of news from the organizers of the World Series of Poker continued earlier today, as the schedule for the 2020 WSOP $1,500 buy-in events was released.

In total, the World Series of Poker revealed that 25 events with a buy-in of $1,500 have been added to the 2020 World Series of Poker schedule. In total, these 25 events will be include 18 different game types, and 12 of them will be in the freezeout format.

The World Series of Poker has put a cap on the number of re-entries that will be allowed for events, and the $1,500 tournaments will be no different. For the tournaments that aren't in the freezeout format, most will only allow a maximum of 1 re-entry for the entire tournament. The Millionaire Maker and CLOSER tournaments will allow for one re-entry per flight.

All of the $1,500 events will have a minimum starting stack of at least 25,000 chips.

The World Series of Poker is attempting to cash in on the popularity of Bounty tournaments as well, as three of the new $1,500 events (Super Turbo, No Limit Hold'em, Pot Limit Omaha) will be bounty events with $500 bounties.
